NVIDIA AI Podcast

LangChain has surpassed 1 billion downloads—and the framework that started as a weekend project is now the harness powering the next generation of production-grade AI agents. In this episode, Harrison Chase, co-founder & CEO of LangChain, breaks down the architecture behind deep agents, explains why systems like Claude Code, Manus, and Deep Research all share the same foundational pattern, and lays out what it actually takes to deploy autonomous agents responsibly in the enterprise.

🔬Topics covered:

What is a "deep agent," and why does architecture matter more than ever?

How enterprises are (and aren't) embracing autonomous agents

LangSmith: observability, tracing, and evaluation-driven development

Mixing frontier and open models (NVIDIA Nemotron) in multi-agent systems

What's next: async subagents, proactive/always-on agents, agent memory, and agent identity

Chapters:

00:00 – LangChain origin story and the deep agent architecture

01:46 – What is a deep agent?

03:31 – Enterprise trust: risk, autonomy, and iteration

04:38 – LangSmith: observability and evaluation-driven development

13:30 – Frontier vs. open models and the Nemotron Coalition

18:10 – What's next: async subagents, agent memory, and agent identity

Generative AI can predict whether a plane takes off—but does it know why? Nicolas Cerisier, VP of 3DEXPERIENCE Platform R&D at Dassault Systèmes, explains how industrial world models go beyond pattern recognition to embed the actual laws of physics, chemistry, and engineering. In this episode of the NVIDIA AI Podcast, he also breaks down Dassault's three virtual companions (AURA, LEO, and MARIE), their 25-year collaboration with NVIDIA, and a stunning real-world use case: helping NIAR rebuild aircraft designs part by part, using AI.

What if one AI brain could run every robot on the planet—a humanoid, a warehouse arm, and a dog-like inspection bot—all at once?

That's not a thought experiment. That's what Skild AI is building right now.

Deepak Pathak (CEO and Co-Founder) and Abhinav Gupta (President and Co-Founder) of Skild AI join the pod to break down Skild Brain—a universal, general-purpose AI model designed to power robots of any form factor, tackling any task, from a single shared intelligence.

What happens when you combine AI with quantum computing? NVIDIA's Nic Harrigan joins the AI Podcast to break down the state of quantum, explain why error correction is the pivotal challenge, and reveal how NVIDIA Ising—the world's first open AI model family for quantum—is changing the game.

Enterprises are moving from AI pilots to full‑scale AI factories that turn data into trusted digital intelligence. Red Hat CTO Chris Wright and NVIDIA’s Justin Boitano unpack the "five‑layer cake" AI factory stack, from accelerated hardware and hybrid cloud infrastructure to models, agents, and production‑grade governance.
